Boost Hoses on Ebay
Has anyone tried those inexpensive boost silicone hose kits on Ebay?
There's a set for under $300.
I know "you get what you pay for" but sometimes there is a product that is truly a good deal.
Is this it?

A few guys are running them here without issues. Their was a post a vendor posted stating the cheaper hoses were not any good, but I could not tell if he was refering to these in particular or other cheaper alternatives. I would run them and do some leak tests to make sure they were good.

I know, I know, but I'm trying to justify the cost over just running the stock hoses. Haven't seen any reason to change them out if I'm not going to be modifying the car much.

not going to start comparing but you do what you get what you pay for.. for those who make their own flanges and parts I can say that not all hoses are the same.. nor the hose flanges...
I rather use OEM then cheap hoses and fittings that leak...

Are you talking about sticking with factory hoses rather than silicone?

I've been looking around at Forge hoses lately and they appear to be significantly cheaper from UK distributors. Try ordering them from here:
http://www.edgeperformance.co.uk/vie...3279&Make=Lada
With international shipping they are only around $382.00. I'm not sure if you're going to run into any other costs, but it might be worth a try. Just make sure you report back and let us know how the transaction goes

Less shipping but can't imagine shipping being that bad.
